Poultry Items.

Shut up the cracks with tar paper or
other material. 1t will keep out the

Small eggs are often caused by fowls
getting too fat. When you know it to
be fact that the hen is getting old, the
probability is this is the cause of the
small sized eggs and the diminuton of
the quantity. If she is allowed to 60
OIL you will be rewarded for your good
will in keeping her by eggs the size of
marbles. eventually. A Ratchet comes
in play in such cases.
The number of hens allowed to ono
cock depends upon the sprightl ness
and vitality of the cock, If ten should
bc gwen as the proper number. it
would not be far from correct, although
twenty hens have been given to one
cock; and q very large per cent of the
eggs proved fertile. We would not adj
wise too many; better be Il few or Il less
number.
When feeding ground scraps to fowls
it is best To scald them with the morn

placed before them dry. When so fed
it should be placed in small boxes
fastened between the windows OF the
house. just high enough 10 let them
pick without throwing it out upon the
floor. Ground oyster shells are also
placed in similar boxes, and always
kept before the fowls. They must have
something of this kind to aid diges-
tio1.
The best and simplest cure for sealy
legs among fowls is TO dip the feet and
legs in coal oil twice, three or four days
apart; then in weeks time grease
thoroughly with vaselIne, and in n
months time, or sooner, the legs will
be rs good rs new. If roosts are well
painted with Kerosene once or twice a
month, it will go long ways in pre-
venting the parasite from getting n
foothold in yards. In this case an
ounce of prevention is worth more than
pound of cure.
Crammin9 poultry is practiced more
in France than in any other country.
There are two methods or systems in
dictated by the words solid aud liquid.
Each fowl is confined by itself in q coop
about eight inches wide, so small that
turning around is an imposs bility. The
sexes are kept apart. and only those of
the same degree of fairness are kept in
one group. Every coop is kept very
clean. In the former system buckwheat
meal bolted fine, ia mixed into stiff
dough, and formed into little rolls
about the size of one finger. They are
soaked in milk or water, in order that
it may be taken down easily when in
serted in the fowls throat. Each meal
demands at first two or three of these
rolls, which number is gradually in
creased to fifteen. Two meals are CIV
en- day. twelve hours intervening
The latter system is becoming more and
more popular in France, is carried on
largely by machine, or OH smaller
scale, by funnel, the food being
mixed to q semi fluid consistency. The
flesh produced is of very superior
quality, and this system will undoubt-

The poet John u. Whittier was 80
years old on the 18th inst. He was
born Dec. IL, 1907, has lived under
twenty presidents of the United States,
through three great wars, and the great
anti-slavery agitation, and is loved and
honored wherever freedom is under
stood and liberty is known. He is the
very voice OF freedom. Everything ne
has written breaths patriotism and a
deep, tender, and abiding sympathy for
humanity. In several places in the
state in the public schools the day
before his anniversary was devoted to
suitable exercises in honor of the
venerable author. No better subject
could be selected than John G. Whittier
to inspire our young people with the
true Americ IN idea and with the pure,
humane, helpful, disinterested spirit
and character of American institutions.
